by the way, if nepalese born in nepal..living in nepal..can say we bahuns..or we newars...or we madheses, or pahade...then what is so wrong, if the same nepali came to US and said we americans...and most probably it was just a figure of speech, what do you know may be they even when they call themself AMERICANS...may be they have done much more for NEPAL...than those who call themselves NEPALESE....just a point.
